This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Title for Reference.

... when it comes to uniqueness in dialoge. I´ve been playing Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST campaign for the past couple of days, I cant belive after 4 year of release, I still hear new dialoge in Halo 3 with IWHBYD. I just cant fathom the ammount of dialoge. I thought I had heard it all, but I was mistaken big time.

This are the the little things that make Halo such a great game. Most games dont pay attention to such small things a combat dialoge. THis is something that Reach was missing. There wasent really anything funny, and I hear the same old comments. I hope for future Halo games, Halo 3 is taken as an example. I continue to play the Halo 3 campaign mostly just for listening to what the marines and ODST´s say.

Here´s one of my favorites ´´That was like beating up children! Not that... I´ve ever beat up children...´´

halo 3 had thousands of dialogue files made, much more than the other halos (not sure about reach).

I wouldn't call it the best Halo, but out of all of the Halo games I have played, I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed my 10,000 plus games of Halo 3.

Grey, did you even read the thread?!

Halo 3 isnt my favorite Halo, and I dont consider it the best, not by a long shot. I like ODST 10x more.

Im txgrim4 (Grim, Grimmy, Grimsta), i have been playing xboxlive for 9 years, evr since day 1 of Halo:CE til now. I love H2, that and Halo 1 are my favs. Im a Halologist when it comes to the Bungie/Halo Universe. Ive also played Marathon Series, ONI, and Myth Series. I live in Texas, Play Football, and cant wait for Halo 4!

I actually think that Halo 2, in my own opinion, is the best, it is what revolutionized xboxlive. the storyine was good too

Halo: Combat Evolved was the best when it comes to story. Hands down. But in multi-player, that gor ram pistol. I had sniping wars where it was a sniper rifle against a pistol. That ain't right man, it ain't right.

... I miss the pistol.

Okay grey101 is -blam!- and retarded. He is probably one of the -blam!-s who give credit to old games because they were his first and there was a smaller community. That or he feels bad for them sucking so much. Halo 3 and ODST were the best.

Halo 3
Halo ODST
Halo Reach
Halo 2
Halo 1

All of them were good except for Halo 1. it sucked in my opinion and the Chief wasn't as bad ass.


Sit down, take a glass of water, and a couple of mints if you want.

Once you feel that you've gotten a grip of yourself, elaborate more on why grey101 is a -blam!- and retarded. Then reflect on this post.

you are really going to try starting something with me? fine, i am bored, lets play.


Jason jones and Frankie are the faces behind halo back then both we needed in order to make the grand story we know have. Now look at the story of halo and halo 2 then look at halo 3.


Both frankie and jones were gone for halo 3 so you can't possibly say that didn't impact the story whatsoever. the original story of halo 3 was going to be cryptum deep in story telling yet frankie leaving mid-way to make 343I put a massive dent in the story telling and we then got halo 3.

The entire game was like other halos was rushed but the story was also fast. suddenly the UNSC and elites are allied and to this day there is no clear explanation on how that happened, we just get a gap saying "oh and they are friends now".

Halo: Uprising was suppose to cover that but due to the change the story shifted and ended up being stupid and based around a lie.

So the elites and humans are friends and we have no idea how arby and crew got to earth or how rtas did; cool. the entire campaign is hyped up for the portal which i will get to in a second.

The flood then come into the mix and land on earth for 1 short mission. seriously? that was the shortest legitimate mission in the entire franchise not to mention lack luster. you didn't even blow up the ship like you were suppose to do.

You then go to the ark and play around on there,cool. then high charity (and it still isn't explained how it got there because the mind didn't know of that place) comes in and crashes. you then have the dead ODST which would have been another story to have during the game (and another unexplained thing) that are randomly seen during the mission. Not to mention there is no encounter with the gravemind at all during the game despite bungie saying "the mission is a boss fight".

So you get cortana (her being gone might be another minus in the game) and you hook up for the last mission. this is really the only mission that doesn't have an issue but destroying the ark before we even get a good glimpse of it is.


You then learn from cryptum that the ark has trillions of alien lifeforms on it which makes you (or should) cringe when you play halo 3. It was a massive was of potential by not showing crazy alien lifeforms and destroying the thing.


That is why halo 3 was not good


LMAO are you serious? The chief in CE is how chief is he isn't some badass, he is a human forced to do things above our level, he is a pawn.

I LOVE "the flood" because it shows chief breaking down without cortana and he himself states he is AFRAID and HATES the flood.
How did reach come into this? you don't even know my thinking pattern nor my reasons so stop trying to speak for me.
I haven't talked about reach on the forums for months and everytime i do it is about lore not gameplay so stop making stuff up and exaggerating. Atleast my "dumb followers" can use decent grammar.

ODST is an expansion moron it isn't a game

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I agree with the OP. Halo 3 was the best Halo game, imo. I've played Halo 3 more then any other xbox game. I'm gunna go play some Halo 3 in a few minutes, in fact. I've replayed the campaign a bunch of times and had such a blast with my friends. The multiplayer is great. Now, it's still fun, but back in its hay day?! ohmygosh. Halo 3 was just overall amazing. I love it to death. I think it will forever remain my favorite Xbox game unless the new trilogy can top it.

Also, ODST has one of the best Halo campaigns. I loved that a lot, as well. The Firefight in ODST was far, far better then Reach's FF. I loved playing ODST FF with my friends or alone. Overall another great game. A close second favorite.

Oh, I thought he was just using dialogue as an example. Either way, I still think it's the best, imo.

Bad ass is the way to go. And Halo 3 is the best because of the epic story line. You fight to survive them on Earth and at the end you chase them off into the portal in an epic last stand. And again it's these little things you think make the game bad. How is it all of a sudden it's bad because you don't like how the game doesn't describe 110% of the 2million events that happen in halo. The other games didn't do so. Especially halo 1. You know nothing about Reach, the UNSC, Earth, and the list goes on and on.


There was no "last stand" it looked like a little kid chasing his brother with a water gun, thats how it seemed.

"little things" since you brought reach into the topic i bet you think the things in reach are "little things" don't you?

um it isn't hard whatsoever to make a mission or two where you still fight elites because the arbiter hasn't came to say "we BFF's now" then everybody teams up to fight the loyalist

Tell me how hard that would have been since you seem to be the grand master despite you clearly showing that you are a child with your last statement.

Bungie themselves said they dumbed down the game because people wouldn't understand why there are grunts on both sides. A clear example of how the game is nowhere near what it should have been.

And how does the first game not explain anything and the same for halo 2? There is a book on CE which i doubt you read and halo 2 is pretty well covered. The main things that need to be explained where

The Fleet of the UNSC, how exactly truth knew of earth, How did Regret find halo 5. That is really it. the forerunner trilogy is covering everything else.


I would like you to tell me all the things i know nothing about, i would also like you to explain said things to me, and point the relevancy.

And clean your cat -blam!- before your mom grounds you

The ending of the Storm was bad ass and I can't exactly convince you unless I go to the Halo 3 forum and make a poll. That fight was there to show how Humanity was hopeless, that is except for the Chief. And the CE book didn't come out until a year later. But your not understanding that a game is not completely bad if it has only a few things you don't like in it. The same goes for Reach.


I don't see how it shows they are "hopeless" when nothing was destroyed. the forerunner ship doesn't have weapons so it isn't like it could hurt them (truth wouldn't ram it).

The fall of reach came out 2 weeks before CE giving you a backstory on what was going on.

Regardless of when it came out there is still a book on it. The year a book comes out is irrelevant because the people in this forum do/should get it the day it is out if not sooner.

the game was bad. you clearly didn't play IRIS or understand the points i made.

Nobody in bungie holds the story telling elements of frankie or jones. so a halo game without both of them just isn't going to be the best.

The bible is the best book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. HALO IS AWESOME BUT GOD IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!
Did you knew that JESUSdied for you?

Halo 2 was the best. Obviously you haven't played halo2

With Jason Jones lead the game was truly epic.

It sucks trying to be a part of a community that knows nothing but to argue about a collection of games and which is better than the rest.

What happened to fun, civil discussion? Because it ain't here.
